Interview with Eldar Gasimov (Azerbaijan 2011, Eurovision Winner):  Azerbaijan was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 by El & Nikki and won the competition with the song "Running scared" in Duesseldorf. Since then one more song emerged from both singers together but then El & Nikki have gone their own career paths. A few months ago David Mann met Nikki in London and interviewed her which was aired on Radio International. JP met El or Eldar Gasimov at the Eurovision Club Germany's annual convention last November in Cologne, Germany and interviewed the talented young singer, actor and presenter as we know he co-hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku. Listen to this interview in this week's edition of Radio International but also hear some of Eldar's new material as well as some Azeri pop songs he performed during the show.
